What is the difference between Semi-permanent makeup and Permanent Make-up?

Permanent vs Semi Permanent Hertfordshire

Is there a difference between PMU and SPMU?

Permanent cosmetics are chosen by many people, semi-permanent makeup is very common these days and more people decide to have it done. Semi-permanent makeup is also more popular and available than in recent years.

In my opinion, the difference is just in the name.
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo, and it involves the placement of pigment in the dermal layer of the skin.

Depth of PMU compared to SPMU

Semi-permanent makeup doesn’t penetrate the skin as deep as the body tattoo does. Skin on  the body is thicker than the facial skin.
There are a few reasons for permanent makeup not being deposited as deep.
The most important reason is because, if the pigment was implanted too deep, the colour of the pigment would change over time and became ashy. This isn’t a different technique and it doesn’t make the treatment permanent, this is considered a mistake and is often done by the fresh permanent makeup technicians, who are not as advanced or without much experience. The too deeply inserted pigment will not look light and soft, it looks blunt and heavy, and may migrate under the skin.
For that reason when tattooing we need to take into consideration the thickness of the skin. The skin on your hands or legs is thicker than the skin on your forehead or your eyelids. This much thinner skin requires more shallow application.

How long does it last?

Some people say that permanent make-up lasts longer compared to semi-permanent makeup.
How long the permanent makeup lasts mostly depends on the technique used and the skin type of the person getting it done. Techniques like powder shading, hair-stroke, and the skin types (oily, combination, dry) play a huge role here. In addition other factors like your lifestyle (if you exercise a lot you may have faster metabolism, and your body will remove “foreign matter” from it sooner and faster), your health conditions and the medication you take (that includes herbs and supplements).
All these things play a role in how well your skin retains pigment.

Does SPMU fade quicker than PMU?

Certain techniques fade much quicker than others.
For example, microblading. Microblading will disappear from your skin in about 6 months up to a year. Machine permanent brows will fade in about 2-5 years, so neither of these techniques is permanent, but machine techniques tend to last longer.
Just to give you an example – a 55-year-old woman with dry and thin skin will get her brows tattooed with either machine or microblade, and I’m sure she’ll be enjoying her brows for a very, very long time. I can say that her brows will most definitely last longer than 2-5 years due to her skin type, she may also not be so active due to her age and already have a slower metabolism anyway.

We work very gently – there is no bleeding or swelling during the treatment. We use the correct depth of work and light pressure to achieve airy and soft results.  Of course, there may be some rare exceptions, and some clients may not know of certain conditions they have. Conditions like sun damaged skin also results in more inflammation during the procedure.

Is permanent or semi permanent makeup for me?

You probably asked yourself at least once “is semi-permanent makeup for me?”

Yes – definitely! As long as you don’t have any contraindications you should be fine 🙂

Permanent makeup is a very safe treatment. We advise to research a permanent makeup technician, to make sure they work with disposable and sterile tools. There is a very minimal risk factor.

At Beauty Bar in Ware Hertfordshire we only use single-use and fully disposable equipment and sterilise and sanitise the work area between each client.
When it comes to a permanent makeup look, that very much depends on your desired outcome and what you would like to achieve, your skin type, skin condition and facial features.
We can help you to make a decision, and guide you on choosing the appropriate technique for your skin type.  We can help you choose the right shape and style of the semi permanent makeup, that will look nice, natural, and flattering on your face. We always take into consideration our clients’ social life, their facial features, lifestyle, and the fact that they will age together with this enhancement.

We want you to look in the mirror in 5 years’ time and be as happy with your semi-permanent make up as you were on the day you had it done.

If you have any questions about permanent make-up, please visit our main website for more info.

difference between permanent makeup semipermanent

In summary, the term semi-permanent and permanent makeup essentially refer to the same cosmetic procedure. It differentiates mainly by terminology and expectations. While the permanent makeup doesn’t last the lifetime, it offers long lasting results, typically 2-5 years, gradually fading over time. Understanding this distinction helps in setting realistic expectations and making informed decisions about enhancing your natural beauty. Whether you call it semi permanent or permanent , the key is to choose a skilled technician who can deliver the desired look with precision and safety.

Semi permanent eyebrows techniques

Different techniques of permanent eyebrow tattoo in Ware Hertfordshire

Permanent eyebrow makeup can be done by using different tools and different techniques. Some clients may be overwhelmed, not knowing what style to choose or what kind of brows would suit them and be appropriate for their skin type.
When we hear semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow tattoo and think of how they were performed 20 years ago, we may get a little afraid.

Blunt shapes, block and strong lines, square brow fronts – this is what a lot of people see when they hear permanent makeup or permanent brows.

You can still see plenty of these brows “walking around”. Yes, we all have seen someone who had “permanent marker” brows.
But the world of semi-permanent make-up has evolved greatly, very dark, blue and blunt marker-type brows are left in the past.
Here at Beauty Bar in Ware Hertfordshire we create nice, soft and delicate, very natural-looking permanent makeup, that is almost undetectable once healed.

How do you know what technique is good for you, or which style?

There are so many to choose from.

We focus on the three most popular permanent eyebrow makeup techniques, each of these styles look very natural. The most popular, which is also our favourite – is the soft powder technique, then hair stroke method or otherwise known as the digital microblading, and for those who like a little stronger makeup effect – ombre brow technique.

brush strokes hertfordshire

Hair stroke eyebrows.

Hair strokes or digital microblading – this method of permanent eyebrow makeup is not for everyone. It is only suitable for those with normal or dry skin types, oily or combination skin isn’t suitable for this technique.

In oily and combination skin – strokes will blur when healed and no longer resemble the real hairs. They look wishy washy and thicker, and eventually the strokes will blend into each other.
We always advise during the consultation that clients with combination or oily skin to opt for a different type of eyebrows, as they won’t achieve nice results from hairstrokes. Digital microblading (machine method) when compared to classic microblading (manual technique) lasts longer. If it’s done on the appropriate skin type (normal or dry), it will last 2-5 years, compared to the classic microblading that only lasts approximately 6-12months.
This method gives the look of natural hair strokes, or how some call it the brush strokes. This technique will look most natural when created on clients with existing brow hairs that are quite fine. It can be nicely blended in together. If a client doesn’t have any own brow hairs, we suggest combining this technique with powder shading, as the soft powder can add the subtle “shadow” that is usually cast by the natural hairs, giving it the 3d look. If you think of it, the added shadow tattoo will make the brows look more realistic. The combination technique is still not available for oily or combination skin.

The way we create hair strokes at Beauty Bar Ware Hertfordshire are very natural, each hair is of different length, flows and fits in with the natural hairs. If you are looking for blunt and square, uniformed brows that look unnatural, then I’m afraid we would not be able to meet your expectations.

Powder eyebrows.

Powder method – I must say it is the most popular type of semi-permanent eyebrows. Beautifully natural, this is suitable for most skin types, even oily skin. This method can create such natural and delicate brows that everyone will just keep guessing if these are naturally yours or not. The density of powder can be as soft or as strong as you wish, depending on your expectations, your hair density and colour. The fronts of the brows can be slanted, rounded, or gradually fading, to create a softer and more natural look. Powder brows also last between 2-5 years.
We are often asked by blonde clients if we can give them natural-looking blonde brows. Of course, we mix the colour of the pigment individually for each client, the colour perfectly matches the colour of their hairs. That applies to every technique of eyebrows regardless.

Ombre eyebrows.

Ombre semi-permanent makeup – this technique gives the look of make-up; the brows are gradually softer at the front of the brow and then get stronger and sharper as it gets to the body and tail of the brows. We recommend this technique to younger clients or those who wear full makeup on daily basis. The colour again is perfectly matched to the client’s natural hair for a perfect blend, and this technique also lasts 2-5 years. This method is suitable for all skin types.

Semi-permanent makeup and conventional makeup will have one main difference. Where with the normal makeup you can choose any colour, even very dark, we would never pick pigment colour that is too dark for your eyebrow hair or skin tone, This pigment would very quickly turn ashy after healing. You have probably seen someone with bluish-looking brows, this can happen when pigment is implanted too deep, or the colour is too dark for a client’s tones.

ombre powder brows

What do you need to know

Every new set of brows will look darker and bolder for the first couple of days, as the pigment oxidizes. This is completely normal, and there is nothing to worry about. The colour will start to lighten as the brows are healing, and the final result will be seen at 4-6 weeks after the procedure. At Beauty Bar in Ware Hertfordshire we work very light and gentle without using too much pressure or causing bleeding. Because of this we cause no scabbing at all during the healing process. Your eyebrows will only gently flake off.

We offer semi-permanent makeup consultations in our Beauty Salon. During the consultation, we will be happy to advise you what type of skin you have, and what would be the best eyebrow technique for you. If you’d like more information on eyebrow semi-permanent makeup please click here.

Aftercare For Lip Fillers 1

Aftercare For Lip Fillers

Lip filler aftercare

Essential tips from our lip filler expert for the best healed results.

So, you just got a new lip filler 😊Your new lips look bigger and juicier, they have more colour and improved shape, but what next? How to care after your beautiful lips when you go home?
First of all, you need to remember that lips with fresh filler are swollen, irritated, and could be also bruised.
There are some things you need to know if you’d like to enjoy a beautiful and healthy pout.
You need to start looking after your lips even before your planned lip procedure.
If you ever had cold sores, you need to try to minimise the risk of outbreak before your appointment. You should contact your doctor or pharmacist and start taking the medication before your appointment. They will inform you what medication and dosage you may need to minimise the outbreak of cold sores.
Right after your lip augmentation appointment, you may feel a little bruised, especially when the anesthetic will start wearing off. This is perfectly normal.
The procedure involves quite a few injections, and because of that, you should avoid touching your lips for around 4 hours. That will minimise the risk of developing infections (the needle will leave tiny punctures in your skin, and in the first 4 hours touching your lips with non-sterile objects may increase the risk of infections).
Your lips will be swollen, some people swell up more than others.
The swelling may last up to a couple of weeks.
You can help to reduce it by applying a cold compress.
lip filler guru

What to eat and drink right after getting your lip fillers?

Never drink through a straw – that may be quite uncomfortable and may also move the fresh filler around.
Also, don’t eat hot food to avoid irritation.

Do not kiss! This can make the filler go ‘’lumpy’’. The same applies to drinking through a straw and pouting.

lip filler aftercare hertfordshire

How to moisturise your lips after lip augmentation?

Some creams work very well, they are soothing to irritated skin and provide adequate hydration.
We recommend creams like Avène Cicalfate +, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5, and creams containing allantoin.
Try to use the moisturiser quite frequently to keep your lips moist, especially in the first few days after your treatment. Hyaluronic acid in the lip filler will also keep them moisturised, so make sure that you drink plenty of water. The more water you drink the better hydrated your lips will be.

What to do in case of bruising?

Bruising is normal, it can happen with all injectable treatments.
If you will get a bruise or two, we recommend using arnica cream or gel.
Any arnica cream will be ok to use, there are many brands available, they are equally effective in the treatment of bruises. You can pick it up in your local pharmacy, at Boots or any supermarket for a couple of pounds.
Use it twice a day, morning and evening until bruises disappear.
If bruising concerns you, on the next day after your appointment, you can start using your lipstick or lip gloss, which can help cover up bruises if they happen.
As you can see, the aftercare is not very difficult or involves a lot of different procedures to follow.
I hope this post will help you to look after your beautiful new lips 😊

Dry brushing

An effective way to tone up your skin

It improves blood circulation, reduces cellulite, and helps to prevent stretch marks – dry brushing is a procedure that should be included in your daily skincare ritual.

dry brushing info

What is dry brushing?

This treatment is nothing else but a natural massage using a brush with quite firm and natural bristles. It is an extremely effective, affordable, and easy-to-perform treatment that you can be done in the comfort of your bathroom. It will feel like a SPA ritual in your own home!

Unwind and relax
Dry brushing for your body not only improves skin appearance but also improves your well-being! It is a fantastic way to relax and unwind. Consider these few minutes a day just for yourself, where you can focus on your needs and give your body so needed love.

What are the benefits of dry brushing your body?

  • Improving the look of stretch marks:
Dry brushing your body is a fantastic way to naturally tone up your skin. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and less prone to stretch marks.
  • Stimulating blood circulation:
The better you brush, the more blood circulates through your body – that is including your skin. Blood carries more oxygen and valuable nutrients to the skin surface, strengthening its structure and preventing the formation of stretch marks.
  • Smoothing the skin:
The dry brushing works as a natural peeling. It allows you to effectively remove dead and calloused skin. It is also a fantastic way to get rid of cellulite. After dry brushing skin becomes more glowy, radiant, and very smooth.
  • Detoxifying your skin:
Massaging your skin with a brush stimulates the lymphatic system. This is so important because the lymphatic system is responsible for the removal of unnecessary metabolic products and supports effective body detox.
  • Preparing your skin for cosmetics:
After dry brushing skin absorbs the beneficial substances included in cosmetic products better and more effectively. Cosmetics can penetrate the skin deeper and work more effectively.
We guarantee that your skin will love dry brushing.
dry brushing advice

How to do dry brushing correctly?

It shouldn’t take you longer than 10 mins. Dry brushing can be performed in a bathtub or shower.
  • 1st step
Start brushing with your feet. Brush with long sweeping movements from your toes towards the heel and then towards the ankle. Use the pressure that is comfortable for you and the sensitivity of the skin. If it tickles, try a bit more pressure and push the brush stronger against your skin.
  • 2nd step
Start brushing your legs with long, gliding strokes towards your heart. This will help to improve lymphatic drainage.
  • 3rd step
When you finished with your legs you can move onto your stomach. You can use gentle, circular movements in a clockwise direction.
  • 4th step
You can reduce the pressure there. Brush your breast area in circular strokes, be gentle and avoid the sensitive nipple area.
  • 5th step
To massage your back, you will need a brush with a longer handle. Use long upwards strokes and brush from your bum to the back and neck area.
  • 6th step
Now you can brush your hands. Brush them with long, gliding movements from your fingers towards your shoulders.
  • 7th step
Your skin is cleansed and ready for the next stage of treatment. You can now use any cosmetics to help you strengthen the effects of this treatment. If your biggest concern is cellulite, use anti-cellulite cream, or if stretch marks – the anti-stretch marks cream. You can also use any body-firming, anti-aging, or slimming products, because of dry brushing, these creams will be absorbed better and more beneficial than when used on their own.
You can also finish the treatment off with the application of breast firming cream 😊
For best results, do the dry brushing treatment every day – in the morning for a natural boost of energy.

How to choose the right body brushing brush?

Choosing the right massage brush is very important. Treatment effectiveness and your comfort depend on it. Brushes made with natural bristles are best. We also recommend those with a wooden handle and a strap for easy handling. The natural fiber made from agave is great for dry brushing too.

There are some other treatments available that could help your body to get leaner and your skin firmer.

What is Nucleofill?

Nucleofill at Beauty Bar in Ware

Nucleofill is an injectable treatment that helps improve the skin, it lifts and visibly thickens it.

The aging process of the skin starts at the age of 25 due to the lower levels of collagen.

Skin begins to lose its natural glow, starts getting first wrinkles and becomes less plump.

Nucleofill treatments are a great solutions to these problems.

Nucleofill is an innovative range of products that deeply regenerate skin, and helps achieving these main results:

  • Skin Lifting
  • Antioxidant effect
  • Skin Hydration

what should you know?

Skin Lifting – Nucleofill contains polynucleotides, they have an effect on fibroblast receptors in the skin. This process initiates the formation of type one collagen and elastin, as well as stimulates the activity of the fibroblasts that are in the resting stage. The skin elasticity improves and the skin is more lifted.

Antioxidant activity – polynucleotides in the extracellular environment destroy the free radicals, which in turn leads to the reduction of oxidative stress in the skin.

Skin Moisturisation – polynucleotides remaining in the extracellular matrix (ECM) bind water, this ensures long-lasting iso-osmotic hydration of the skin.

As a result, the skin becomes lifted, tighter, moisturised and softer, this leads to a healthy looking, fresh, younger, and well-rested appearance.

nucleofill hertfordshire

What is in Nucleofill?

We offer two strengths of this product for the face and neck:

Nucleofill Medium

It contains 1,5ml 2% of polynucleotydes

Nucleofill Strong

And one product for the eye area.

What results can be achieved with nucleofill?

  • Improvement of skin elasticity, tighter skin
  • Skin Lift
  • Improved contours of the face
  • Improved skin hydration
  • Reduced fine wrinkles

Nucleofill gives a fresh and natural effect without changing facial features. It is a very innovative biotechnology in the service of aesthetics and anti-aging.

What can you expect during the treatment?

Depending on the condition of your skin, or your age we may choose the Medium or Strong Nucleofill product.

The product is usually administered in one of two ways.

  • The 5 bio-aesthetic points
  • microdeposits into the affected areas.

People who are sensitive can request an anesthetic cream. During the treatment, a slight pinching and stretching may be felt.


We recommend to have a series of 2-4 treatments, one every 4 weeks.

Some clients may require combined treatment to achieve better results, i.e. the Strong product applied to the middle part of the face and the Medium treatment applied to the lower part of the face and chin or neck. Such treatment allows for much better results and simultaneous treatment of the face and neck.

Who should be getting Nucleofill?

The treatment is great for skin that is:

  • Dehydrated
  • Hypoxic
  • Exposed to oxidative stress

This treatment is ideal for people who start to notice that their face started loosing its contours, skin is less firm and hydrated, and starts getting thinner..

20 things you need to know about eyebrow lamination

Eyebrow Lamination at Beauty Bar

What is Eyebrow Lamination?

Eyebrow lamination is a popular treatment that helps shape and style unruly or uneven eyebrow hair. It uses a chemical process to straighten and smooth the brow hair, allowing you to set them in the desired direction. This creates a fuller, groomed look that can last for several weeks. The treatment is combined with tinting and shaping to enhance the overall appearance of the brows.

Can Eyebrow Lamination Damage Natural Hair?

While eyebrow lamination is safe when performed by a trained professional, incorrect application of the chemical products can cause damage. It’s important to have the treatment done by someone with the proper expertise to avoid breakage or dryness in the brow hair. Avoid attempting DIY brow lamination at home, as improper use of the products can harm your brows.

eyebrow lamination beauty bar

Where Did Eyebrow Lamination Come From?

Eyebrow lamination evolved from eyelash lift treatments. As interest grew in reshaping brow hair, products specifically for lamination were developed. These are much gentler than eyelash lift solutions, but the process is similar. An activator and neutraliser are used to change the structure of the brow hair, making it easier to shape and style.

What to Expect During Eyebrow Lamination Treatment?

1. Cleanse: The brows are cleansed of all makeup and oils.

2. Apply Activator: The first product (activator) is applied to soften and reshape the hair. The brows are brushed into the desired shape, and the product is left on for a set amount of time.

3. Neutraliser: The activator is removed, and the neutraliser is applied to lock in the new shape. The brows are brushed again and left to set.

4. Final Step: The treatment concludes with tinting and shaping for a complete brow transformation.

eyebrow treatments hertfordshire

Brow Lamination Contraindications

You should avoid eyebrow lamination if you have:

Allergies to the products

Cuts, wounds, or active acne in the brow area

Dry or irritated skin

Recent chemical peels (within 2 weeks)

Use of retinol within the last month

Eyebrow Lamination Aftercare

For the first 24 hours after treatment, avoid touching or wetting the brows. Afterward, the brow hair will be soft and easy to style. Regular conditioning with eyebrow oils like castor or argan oil is recommended to keep the hair healthy and prevent dryness or frizz. Without proper aftercare, the brows may become unruly again.

eyebrow lamination ware

Is Eyebrow Lamination Suitable for Everyone?

As long as there are no contraindications, eyebrow lamination is suitable for most people. It works best for those with brow hair that grows in different directions or is difficult to manage.

Can Eyebrow Lamination and Henna Brows Be Combined?

Eyebrow lamination should not be combined with henna brows in the same session. However, henna can be applied a few days after the lamination treatment for added definition.

beauty brow treatments hertford

Eyebrow Lamination During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

There are no strict contraindications for eyebrow lamination during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, as the skin can be more sensitive during this time, there’s a higher chance of irritation or allergic reactions. It’s best to consult with your technician before proceeding.

eyebrow lamination welwyn garden city

Can Brow Lamination Be Done Over Permanent Makeup?

Yes, brow lamination can be safely performed over healed permanent makeup without any issues.

How Often Can Eyebrow Lamination Be Repeated?

For lasting results, eyebrow lamination can be repeated every 6-8 weeks. However, it’s important to maintain proper aftercare between treatments to keep the brow hair healthy.

Is Eyebrow Lamination Painful?

The procedure is painless. However, if you experience itching or stinging during the treatment, inform your technician immediately. A slight tingling sensation is normal.

eyebrow lamination hertfordshire

Can You Apply Makeup After Eyebrow Lamination?

For the first 24 hours, it’s best to avoid touching or applying makeup to the brows. After that period, you can resume your normal makeup routine.

Can Eyebrow Lamination Cause Allergic Reactions?

In rare cases, the chemicals used in brow lamination may cause an allergic reaction, especially in clients with sensitive skin. It’s common to experience slight flaking or irritation after the treatment, but this isn’t necessarily an allergy. Regular exfoliation and moisturising can help prevent skin irritation.

Fat Dissolving Treatments in Ware Hertfordshire

chin slimming stevenage

What is Injectable Fat Dissolving?

Fat dissolving, also known as injectable lipolysis, is an effective procedure designed to reduce localised fat deposits in targeted areas such as the chin, jawline, abdomen, back, thighs, and knees. The treatment works by injecting phosphatidylcholine or sodium deoxycholate into the fat tissue, which breaks down the fat cells’ membranes, ultimately reducing fat in the selected areas.

Areas You Can Target with Fat Dissolving

  • Double chin
  • Stomach and love handles
  • Inner and back of thighs
  • Fat under the buttocks (banana rolls)
  • Upper arms
  • Chubby knees

Who is the Ideal Candidate for Fat Dissolving?

Fat dissolving treatments are best suited for people who are of normal weight or slightly overweight but have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond well to diet or exercise. This treatment is not intended as a solution for weight loss or severe obesity.

For people with loose skin after significant weight loss, we recommend alternative treatments such as skin boosters or mesotherapy to improve skin firmness.

bra fat loss hertford

What to Expect During Your Fat Dissolving Appointment

Your session will begin with a short consultation where you’ll fill out forms regarding your medical history and any medications you are taking to rule out contraindications.

The procedure itself is straightforward and painless. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of product into the designated areas after the skin is disinfected. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or a tingling sensation, which subsides in a few days.

Fat Dissolving Aftercare and Tips for Best Results

After your treatment, you can return to your regular activities, including work. Some clients see noticeable results after a single session, while others may require 2-3 treatments depending on the amount of fat to be dissolved and personal expectations.

To maximise results, we recommend drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in light exercise. Gently massaging the treated area for a few minutes each day can further improve the results.

How often and how many sessions of fat dissolving do I need?

Depending on your goals, fat-dissolving treatments can be repeated between 2 to 6 times, with a minimum interval of 4 weeks between each session. Visible results typically start showing around 4 weeks after the initial treatment.

After the first session, you may be invited for a follow-up consultation to assess results and develop a plan for future treatments. Occasionally, a different product may be recommended based on your progress and expectations.

On the chin area we use only one vial of product. Up to two vials can be used to treat larger areas more effectively.

fat dissolving cincelar hertfordshire

What could affect your results?

The success of the fat-dissolving treatment depends on the area being treated, the person’s following the aftercare instructions, and their overall health. Clients who follow the recommended aftercare, including proper hydration and light exercise, typically see better results than those who do not.

Who should avoid fat dissolving?

The treatment is not suitable for you if you have the following conditions:

  • Acute kidney or liver diseases
  • Not controlled diabetes

What to Expect During Your Mesotherapy Appointment

An anesthetic cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort. The mesotherapy product is injected into the skin with a very fine needle, targeting the face, neck, scalp, or body areas.

Post-Treatment Care and Results

You can resume daily activities immediately after the procedure. Minor bruising or swelling may happen, but these will resolve in a few days. To avoid any post treatment complications you must avoid tanning and heat exposure for two weeks  after your treatment, and follow any recommendations for aftercare, including using sunscreen and a regenerating cream. We will supply you with written aftercare instructions.

Cosmetic Tattooing

How to Prepare for Your Medical Micro-pigmentation Treatment

Medical micro-pigmentation, or medical tattooing involves implanting pigment in the skin to blend in different skin colours into one.

Skin tone colour matching is carried out prior to the treatment.

A sensitivity patch test must be performed prior to the medical micro-pigmentation procedure.

areola scar treatment hertfordshire

Pre-treatment Checklist for Medical Tattooing

1. Skin Tone Matching: Avoid tanning before the skin tone matching process and throughout the treatment plan to ensure accurate results.

2. Patch Test: A sensitivity patch test is required before the procedure to ensure you’re not allergic to the pigments.

3. Multiple Sessions: You may need multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This allows the skin to heal fully between treatments.

4. Initial Colour Intensity: The colour may appear more intense and darker immediately after the treatment. This will soften as the skin heals over the next few days.

5. Swelling and Redness: Swelling, redness, and occasionally bruising may occur after each session. You might want to avoid social events immediately afterward.

6. Medications: Avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen two days before treatment. However, do not stop taking any prescribed medications without consulting your doctor.

7. Alcohol: Do not drink alcohol for at least two days before and after your session, as it can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.

8. Aftercare: Follow the aftercare instructions carefully to avoid infections. Keeping the treated area clean is crucial for proper healing.

Skin Cosmetic Products:

Do not use Retin-A or retinol products near the treatment area for six weeks prior.

Avoid AHA products for four weeks before treatment.

Refrain from professional chemical peels near the treatment area for four weeks prior.

Blood Donation

You will not be eligible to donate blood for 12 months after your medical micro-pigmentation procedure.

Specific Guidelines for Cleft Lip Tattooing

If you’re planning a cleft lip tattoo and have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), it’s recommended to take anti-herpes medication for one week before and after the procedure. This helps prevent a potential outbreak, as the procedure can trigger the dormant virus.

Other Considerations:

Laser Hair Removal: IPL laser hair removal should be completed at least two weeks before your treatment.

Lip Waxing and Bleaching: Avoid lip waxing or bleaching two weeks before and two weeks after your procedure to prevent irritation.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smoother treatment process and better results. Always consult us if you have any questions or concerns before the procedure.

Daily Care Tips for Eyeliner Tattoo Healing

First 48 Hours Post-Procedure:

  • If you need you can apply disposable cold packs to reduce swelling.

Daily Care for the First 7 Days:

  • Apply a healing balm or Bepanthen cream 3 times a day using a clean cotton bud for each eye. Always wash your hands before application to avoid contamination.
  • Use a gentle facial cleanser during the first week, avoiding direct splashes on your face. Clean the eyeliner area twice daily with damp cotton pads.
  • If the area gets wet, pat it dry with a clean tissue.
  • Keep your hair away from your eyeliner to avoid infection.
  • Itching is normal—do not pick, peel, or rub the area. Let the color naturally flake off.
  • Avoid wearing contact lenses for 24 hours after treatment.
  • Continue using your usual eye cream, but avoid applying it directly over the eyeliner tattoo.
  • Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from wind and pollution.
  • Avoid beauty treatments around your eyes for 5 days after the procedure.
  • Do not apply any makeup near the treated area for 3 days, and use a new mascara after 3 days to avoid bacteria from old mascara.

Important information

In rare cases, you may lose some eyelashes during healing, but they typically grow back within 2-4 months.

Expect your eyeliner color to be more intense and defined for the first week, but it will soften and lighten as it heals.

Healing time is typically 14 days but can take longer if you’re stressed, have a weakened immune system, or maintain a poor diet.

Some unevenness in color is normal—this will be corrected at your top-up visit.
